Idaho group plans to protest immigration bills





February 14, 2010 8:04 AM ET

BOISE, Idaho (AP) - A coalition of Idaho groups plan to protest proposed legislation that would punish employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants with fines and suspension of licenses.

Community organizer Leo Morales says the coalition will gather at the state capitol Monday to express legal, budgetary and moral concerns over the proposed bills this session.

His group, the Idaho Community Action Network, represents migrant-worker interests and contends that only federal legislation can solve the problem.

Morales has said the main concern is that employers don't have adequate training to determine just who has a fake ID or Social Security number.

We need a trace on the funding for Idaho Community Action Network right away so we can see if we can go after them.

Gawd these people are a thorn in our side.... Wonder how much of our federal $$$$ they are getting?

ICAN is the group who goes to these committee hearings and makes demands for illegal aliens. They tried that with instate tuition for illegals and the committee members booted them out. I'm trying to see if I can activate a group to counter protest these jerks.

Wow! 500,000 a year budget! That pro illegal alien state group has a budget almost five times that of ALIPAC's national budget.

I have no idea how to get their IRS 990 filing, or anything else. (I try to stay away from the IRS. ) But will keep poking; no results guaranteed or implied.

I'll do some poking, too, but I'll guarantee they get funding from the Dairymen and Ag growers.

From what I found out so far, they get the majority of their funding from membership. I will ask Senator Mike tomorrow. He'll probably know.
